We are the only IKO KiteCenter permitted to instruct Kiteboarding at Belmont Shore. It's the only beach in the Los Angeles and Orange County Area where Kitesurfing Lessons are allowed due to the breakwall that blocks the waves. Our ideal school location makes learning fast and safe, and SoCal Kitesurfing is one of the world's premiere IKO affiliated Kite Centers using safe and efficient methods. Plus our lesson prices are some of the best around the globe. No wonder we get students from all over the world learning with SoCal Kitesurfing. Come join in the SoCal fun!

Our Kiteschool is at 69 Claremont Place, Belmont Shore in Long Beach CA See MAP

Better Instruction methods-Only with SoCal does your instructor join you IN THE WATER giving help when you most need it! After you learn kite control on the beach with our patient and detailed system, then its time for the water. Does your instructor put on a wetsuit and help you in the ocean, or will he send you out there in the ocean all by yourself? Will you be out there alone crashing the kite, losing the board, wasting your valuable lesson time? Not with us! We are there WITH YOU so you avoid problems, learn how to handle situations, and most importantly you will feel safe! You will learn WITH your instructor right there at your side giving immediate feedback & problem solving until you have a handle on all water situations. Learn in half the time with our accelerated method saving unnecessary frustration and expense. OK sure it's a lot more work for us than yelling from the shore as you struggle, but we actually want you to learn safe and fast. We make the effort. Come to the beach, ask around, and watch SoCal teach. We have no doubt you will join us at SoCal Kitesurfing.
